The Psychology of Money

“Like everything else worthwhile, successful investing demands a price. But its currency is not dollars and cents. It’s volatility, fear, doubt, uncertainty, and regret—all of which are easy to overlook until you’re dealing with them in real time.”

“The question is: Why do so many people who are willing to pay the price of cars, houses, food, and vacations try so hard to avoid paying the price of good investment returns?

15 Book Quotes That Stick With You Long After You Read Them

October 28, 2021 Leave a Comment

book quotes

They shared the weight of memory. They took up what others could no longer bear. Often, they carried each other, the wounded or weak. They carried infections. They carried chess sets, basketballs, Vietnamese-English dictionaries, insignia of rank, Bronze Stars and Purple Hearts, plastic cards imprinted with the Code of Conduct. They carried diseases, among them malaria and dysentery. They carried lice and ringworm and leeches and paddy algae and various rots and molds. They carried the land itself—Vietnam, the place, the soil—a powdery orange-red dust that covered their boots and fatigues and faces. They carried the sky.

Caveman’s Book Club Selections of the Month

The Road – Cormac McCarthy

The Road tells the story of a father and son warily travelling across post-apocalyptic America, hoping to reach a place of sanctuary. This is a book to read slowly, to savor, not one to speed through to hasten ingestion of the plot. There are events that are exceedingly grim in this, focusing on despair, suicide, cannibalism. Yet the love of the father for his son is palpable and despite the omnipresent gray ash, there remain slivers of hope.

“He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”

Selected Reading Of The Day: Love Is A Dog From Hell

September 12, 2018 Leave a Comment

love is a dog from hell charles bukowski

too much 
too little

too fat
too thin
or nobody.

laughter or
tears

haters
lovers

strangers with faces like
the backs of
thumb tacks

armies running through
streets of blood
waving winebottles
bayoneting and fucking
virgins.

an old guy in a cheap room
with a photograph of M. Monroe.

there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock

10 Graphic Novels You Need To Read Before You Die

August 27, 2018 Leave a Comment

Watchmen – Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons

watchmen alan moore

Watchmen is Moore’s ultimate masterpiece, a triumph of the deconstructionist and superhero genre.  The story begs the questions of what would happen if superheroes were real.  Who would be superheroes?  What kind of personal problems or motivations would make somebody dress up in a colorful outfit and fight criminals?  And what would happen if a TRUE superhero, one who had ACTUAL powers, existed in real life?  Summarizing the story of Watchmen is incredibly challenging.  To keep things as brief as possible, it is about a group of vigilantes and one superpowered god-like figure who find themselves in the middle of a conflict that could end the lives of millions of people.  Moore used the superhero genre to explore ideas of personal identity, postmodernism, and the role of power in society.

The characters, particularly the Objectivist street vigilante Rorschach and Doctor Manhattan, a scientist with god-like powers and control over matter and energy, have become touchstones within the superhero community, even though they have never been used outside of their original series.  Watchmen was also responsible for jump-starting the weakened comic book industry in the late 80s alongside the seminal The Dark Knight Returns.  It is also responsible for inadvertently changing the tone of comics to being dark, gritty, and violent for nearly a decade by cheap imitators.  The 2009 film adaptation ofWatchmen was both highly successful and incredibly controversial as it was disowned by Moore and changed the comics legendary ending.  Despite the film, Watchmen remains Moore’s crowning achievement and easily one of the greatest series in comic book history.

9 Essential Books That Teach You To Be Rich

August 20, 2018 Leave a Comment

The wealthiest, most successful people bury themselves in books. They commit to self-education long after they’ve finished college or any formal education. Warren Buffet once stated “The more your learn the more you earn.” Buffet wasn’t talking about school courses though – he was talking about financial education. We’ve highlighted 9 of our favorite personal-finance books from century-old classics to hot new releases.

 

‘Think and Grow Rich‘ by Napoleon Hill

think and grow rich by napoleon hill

Think and Grow Rich has been called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature.”

Prompted by legendary businessman Andrew Carnegie, who turned a few nickels and dimes into a fortune, journalist Napoleon Hill researched more than 500 self-made millionaires over 20 years before releasing his 1937 best-seller “Think and Grow Rich.”

He boils down the “secret” to building wealth into 13 principles and reveals “major causes of failure” that hold many of us back from getting rich.

There is no mention of “money,” “wealth,” “finances,” or “stocks” within Hill’s text. He takes a different approach, focusing on breaking down the psychological barriers that prevent many of us from attaining our own fortunes.
